Stargate (1994)
Screenplay by: Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich
Roland Emmerich was building a solid career as a sci-fi action director but with Stargate he took the concept of popcorn sci-fi and world-building to a whole new level. The film follows a military team and a linguist who opens up a device that connects to an ancient, yet highly-developed civilization on a different planet that worships the Egyptian Sun God: Ra.
The originality of the idea and the use of science fiction gave Emmerich and Devlin the freedom to follow up two years later with the Will Smith smash hit Independence Day (1996).
